Tonight:

There are many ways to celebrate 4/20. You can get high and watch Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

I’m all for traditions, but try shaking it up this year: The 43rd District democrats are hosting a panel on marijuana, exploring decriminalization vs. legalization.

In light of the new medical marijuana law signed by Governor Gregoire this year, as well as increasing discussion of legalizing the stuff to help kick-start the economy, it’s a hot topic with a hot panel to match: WA Supreme Court Justice Richard Sanders, WA Senator Jeanne Kohl-Welles (sponsor of the aforementioned bill), Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes, and Seattle attorney/reform activist Douglas Hiatt. The talk will be moderated by former pro-pot activist The Stranger’s Dominic Holden.

Tonight from 7:30 to 8:30 pm, at the University Heights Community Center (5031 University Way NE). Free and open to the public, but guests are asked to RSVP.


Tomorrow:

GoGreen is an all-day conference being put on by the City of Seattle to teach business leaders sustainable business practices and give practical instructions on "going green."
